Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have all the usual suspects; Stratocaster, Les Paul, 335 (Sheraton II), etc., but I was interested in something a little different. This beauty really fit the bill. It was purchased on faith, since I hadn’t any opportunity to actually see nor play one in person. I got to say, I am seriously blown away by the look and overall quality of this instrument. She is a much welcomed addition to the family.

Sound
The DiMarzio Super Distortions are one of the big draws for me taking a chance on this guitar. They helped to set the tone for a lot of great classic rock songs. The certainly do not disappoint. They can hold their own when compared to my Gibson '57's. They are very bright and biting...ready to rock!

Features
I have not ever played a guitar with a "V" shaped neck. Being used to my slim "C's" and "D's", their is a real marked difference in your hand. It immediately feels comfortable to me and really begins to make sense as I played through some lead runs.

Ease of Use
The action was set just right, no fret buzz to be found at all. The DiMarzio Super Distortions sound incredible. Though the body style is, well, unorthodox to say the least, it feels very comfortable when played sitting or when strapped on.

Quality
I go over every guitar with a fine toothed comb, once I get a new one. This guitar is flawless Rock solid; every knob, every screw. The Gloss… read more Natural finish is brilliant. The frets on the fingerboard are smooth with not a single rough edge

Value
Zzounds is great for us "working poor" musicians. They offered me a great deal on this beauty. This is my second guitar I've gotten through them (I also purchased a Vox AC15 C2 through Zzounds, as well as various guitar/music gear). This particular guitar is sincerely worth much more than the asking price.

Manufacturer Support
Have yet to contact them but, did register my guitar at their site.

The Wow Factor
Come on...you gotta ask!?! This baby screams "Wow Factor". You will definitely stand out from the pack with this strapped on. I, for one, happen to love the Dean "V" headstock, too. That seems to be a "love or hate" issue for many.
